What is your schedule?

During the school year we offer 5 week instructional sessions, running from Labor day to Memorial Day. The next session will start on Feb. 6th. These sessions consist of small group instruction for 75 minutes, with children of similar ability. Following that session, another one starts immediately after on Mar. 12th. Please click on the Schedule tab for the schedule and registration forms. If you are new to the academy please click on the levels tab to determine a starting level for your child. If you have any questions please call us at 356-5666 or email us at info@fargobasketball.com.

How do I get my child signed up for the academy?

Go to the levels tab, determine the level you wish to have your child participate in. If you are not sure, email or call us by going to the Contact Us tab, and we'll help you decide the appropriate level for your child. Then click on the class schedule and pick the best time that class level is offered and write down the class code. Then click on the Registration Form, print it, fill it out, sign it and send or drop it by the academy, along with the appropriate payment.

Who will be instructing my children during the classes?

At the academy, Director Tom Wilberscheid and former NDSU standout and professional player Mike Nelson will be doing most of the instructing of classes, private and semi-private lessons, and team training. The academy also has a staff of past and current collegiate players such as Jill (Zaruba) Hoffert to help with the instruction. The academy takes pride in our instructors and will continue to ensure that those teaching at the FBA are not only very good teachers of the game, but are men and women of great character, who relate well with our youth.

If my child misses a class can they make it up?

If your child misses a scheduled class due to an illness or scheduling conflict, they may make it up in one of the other similar level classes, during the session.

What is your bad weather policy?

If we choose to close the Academy because of inclement weather, we will post it on the front page of our website, leave a message on our answering service and send an email out as soon as we make that decision. If you feel uncomfortable driving to the academy, please do not take any chances. You will be allowed to make up for any missed classes at a later date. Often times the travel conditions are good intown, but awful outside the city limits. Because of this we will choose to hold classes for whoever can safely get there.
